Francis Smith born in 1804 SC, died 1884 Perry Co., IL. Wife, Jane/Jennie/Jennet/Jennetta McHatton born 1819, Ireland, died 1873 Perry Co., IL. Married 1840 Randolph Co., IL. I've been unable to confirm who their parents were or where in SC Francis was born. Any information would be appreciated. Jonna, I was almost afraid to read your response as the other poster was/is really angry with me. Thank you for being gracious and I regret raising the question!!! I do remember you, now, and am still stuck on this generation. I have found other family trees that list people. However, there aren't any sources to confirm the names/dates/places. Please do email me, however you prefer, and no hurry. Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonna" <jonnawanna@yahoo.com> To: <ilperry@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 11:11 AM Subject: Re: [ILPERRY] Message Boards - Francis Smith - Rama > Just wanted to say that, like Jean, I am also a > legitimate member of this board.
